WeWriWa: Sorry I Missed You . . . with News of My “RELEASE DATE!”

Whoops! My post didn’t get linked last week, so Weekend Writing Warriors didn’t get my news. Since good news bears repeating, I’m retreading last week’s post with added new content (kinda like a reissue!). I’m taking a short hiatus from PRINCE OF DREAMS while it’s in the hands of my BETA readers (finally!) to give the ole creative brainpan a breather, before it goes from BETA readers, to line edits, formatting, final cover proof, promotion plans . . . and before you know it, that planned summer book has an October release date! Just can’t get it through so many hands in less time. So, I’m rolling with it to announce a Release Date for the final book in my House of Terriot shapeshifter series of October 2, 2018! And to help celebrate, I’m reopening the doors to my Haunted Halloween Open House and will be participating in a spooky hop through Bewitching Books Tours! More on that later. Today, let’s get straight to the heart (or is that the heat?) of the moment with today’s excerpt from an earlier scene (and an earlier post) in PRINCE OF DREAMS.

As he strode behind the truck bed, she watched in the rearview as his outline was traced by the rear lights, desire and impatience for what she couldn’t have chafing aggressively like two raw agates in a rock polisher. By the time he got in, she’d fogged the windows with her ragged breaths. 

As he twisted to find his seat belt, Ophelia spoke his name softly, “Christopher.” 

Kip turned in question and she was on his lips in a heartbeat. As his parted in surprise, her tongue shot between them, engaging his in aggressive play. The taste of him . . . zingy sauce, dark beer and pure heaven. 

He gripped her upper arms, at first, she thought to push her away, but he drew her closer instead, dragging her toward him, lifting and twisting her body to angle her around the steering wheel, grinning into their kiss as her butt brushed the horn, startling a quick beep. Skirt tangling about the shifter knob, she freed one hand to tug it loose, so Kip could pull her across him, her knees straddling his thighs on the vinyl bench seat. They settled into a hurried, hungry lip lock. 

Delicious.

I wonder where this is going? 

While I wait anxiously for BETA news, I’m distracting myself by hyping the $0.99 Sale of my Dana Ransom contemporary romance, TOTALLY YOURS. I’ll be sharing from that close-the-the-heart (and waistline) book next week, but here’s a peek to get you started...

Happy Writing no matter where you are in your journey, fellow Warriors! October will be here before you know it!
